(10/22/2025) Parent/guardian representation is needed at upcoming Special Education Advisory Council (SEAC) meetings for the upcoming school year from families with students of all age levels - including early childhood, elementary, middle school, high school, and transition-aged students - with a full continuum of student disabilities. 

What it is: SEAC (pronounced “seek”) is comprised of parents/guardians of students in the district who receive Special Education services. 

Why it matters: The intent of SEAC is to advise the school district on parent involvement, current issues, program development and established department priorities. The council serves as a resource and an advisory council for special education programs in the district. 

How to get involved: Contact Mary Esch at 763-506-1362 or mary.esch@ahschools.us. Parents/guardians who wish to be part of SEAC are asked to make an effort to attend all meetings. 

Meeting details: The focus and work of the group is driven by parents' interest in projects and resources that benefit all families of students served in special education.

Meetings are held in-person from 5:30 to 6:30 p.m. at the Anoka-Hennepin Education Service Center (ESC) located at 2727 N. Ferry Street in Anoka. Meeting dates have been set for the 2025-26 school year:
